16.6 Exercise 34

Avg difficulty 2.5

A transverse wave on a horizontal string (μ=0.0060kg/m)\left(\mu = 0.0060 \text{kg}/\text{m}\right) is described with the equation y(x,t)=0.30msin(2π4.00m(x−vwt)).y \left(x , t\right) = 0.30 \text{m} \text{sin} \left(\frac{2 \pi}{4.00 \text{m}} \left(x - v_{w} t\right)\right) . The string is under a tension of 300.00 N. What are the wave speed, wave number, and angular frequency of the wave?
